From the Paper:

"The entrepreneur's imaginative solutions to problems will bring his or her organization out of financial or marketplace quicksand. Baum found that entrepreneurs favored reflective observation in learning and that they preferred concrete experience with active experimentation with high practical intelligence to achieve higher venture growth.
But the final "intelligence," inspirational intelligence, is the main focus of this necessarily short discussion of the entrepreneur's influence on organizational decision making."
